200g of Protein

 I was telling  a co-worker of mine some details of my hypertrophy phase. 

When I told her I eat around 200 grams of protein a day she was shocked. How do I get that much protein in? 

An example of a typical day: 

Breakfast:

• Revive Banana Nuts Super Oats (10g)

Lunch: 

• 2 Chicken apple sausages. (24g)
• Chicken noodle soup (6g)
• 1 cup of cottage cheese (31g) 

Supper: 

• 1 chicken breast (49g)
• 3 servings of beef jerky (51g)

Snack:

• Smart tart protein snack (8g)
• 2 slices of cheese (10g) 
• Pickles (0.8g)
• Granola cereal (9g)
• Milk (1g)

Yes it’s a lot of food, however, in order to build muscle you have to increase your protein intake. 

I enjoy protein in other forms as well, rice, eggs, fish, nuts, beans, vegetables. Believe it or not, but, edamame has 18 grams of protein per cup. 

I throw a protein powder in my lunch and mix it with water around first break. 

Don’t skimp on the protein if your goal is to gain muscle. You might as well not work out. 

Protein is good for fat loss too, as it helps you feel fuller. Just make sure your choices are lean cuts of meat. This doesn’t mean a package of bacon for breakfast! 

I mentioned this before, you must, must, must, eat some protein within 2 hours of working out.

Yes, there is a science behind all of this, I won’t bore you with the details. Just run to the fridge, and, eat some protein right now! Eat some veggies while your are at it too.
